Feature description

amethyst fragments are compressed into amethyst blocks when using /compact.

How the feature is useful

As the game progressed, amethyst became a widely used item on servers in terms of evolution such as mcmmo, money etc, enabling different mechanics, as the item has a considerable value, it would be interesting to add this compacting function to generate quality of life for players, as with other ores.

EssentialsX doesn't have a list of condensable items. It checks whether an item can be crafted into a compact form in a 2x2 or 3x3 grid and if the compacted form of the item can be crafted back into the original items before, to prevent items like glowstone and clay potentially being lost by being condensed.

You can allow condensing of amethyst by adding a recipe to turn amethyst blocks back into shards via a datapack or a custom recipe plugin.
